Used it "as is". Thanks for the work:-)
Had to place an icecat icon and an icecat-3.6.3.desktop file in /SOURCES for it to compile properly. After compiling it occured to me that I could have copied a working .desktop file from 64-bit, but mine seems to work ok:-)

It said it imported my bookmarks but it actually didn't. It imported a lot, but not everything. Unsorted bookmarks and LiveBookmarks seem to be missing. All the cool old BLAG-Bookmarks are gone as well.
But i still have them in FF and could export them. Perhaps we should include them in our build again?

Another thing: Can we get rid of the default search engines like google, yahoo, answers and... amazon and ebay? It's the internets, I'm not here for shopping.
I think there are replacement available for the ctrl+k searchbox like scroogle, ixquick et al.

Agree with both your points, we should bring back the BLAG bookmarks and drop the commercial search engines.
When we discussed it on IRC, it seemed that scroogle and ixquick were the most popular engines. Maybe we should also add stuff like creative commons and librivox, plus BLAG-friendly places like libcom and indymedia. We could have a poll on the forum and include 5-10 of the most popular.

Bookmark handling changed in FF/Icecat around 3.5, and personal bookmarks are stored in the places.sqlite file. Not quite sure how to to change/add bookmarks and search engines in the build, but I can probably figure it out. I guess search engines are somewhere in the source and bookmarks can be added by a BLAG equivalent to the fedora-bookmarks package.

IceCat version 3.6.8-1blag is uploaded on riseup now, both for x86 and x86_64. Junichiro will get it onto the BLAG fsf server. Commercial search engines are replaced by scroogle, anarchopedia, libcom, etc. Give us a shout if you wish for more/other engines:)
